    Dansup is seriously great at designing social platforms. I don’t have much personal use for it, as I never cared for instagram, but I think Pixelfed is the best designed platform on the Fediverse. I’m sure Loops will be great too. Fantastic name too.

      I think lemmy is the best one on the fediverse as i have tried most of em and only lemmy feels really polished, usable, better than all alternatives etc but yeah its personnel preferance i guess .

        I use the Sync app to enjoy Lemmy, and I miss a design revamp on the official Lemmy front-end UI for Web when I’m using a desktop.

      Kudos to the guy for doing stuff + it being FOSS, but I wouldn’t call him “great at designing social platforms”. Pixelfed is fediverse instagram, loops is fediverse tiktok

        Pretty much everything on the fediverse is just a clone of another social media. Pixelfed still has the most intuitive design for new users and a great onboarding process. Took Mastodon a while to catch up.

        Yea part of the point in designing these alternatives (to my understanding) is that the userbase can feel immediately at home, there is little barrier to entry
